Hidden in small print on the front page of MSNBC is an AP story indicating that our favorite uber-lobbyist-criminal is about to
sing like a canary:
WASHINGTON - A Republican lobbyist at the center of a Capitol Hill bribery probe could cooperate with prosecutors if ongoing plea bargaining negotiations proceed smoothly in coming days, says a person involved in the investigation.
Jack Abramoff could end up pleading guilty under an arrangement that would settle a criminal case against him in Florida as well as potential charges in Washington, said the person close to the probe.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of discussions between prosecutors and Abramoff's lawyers.
Asked how many members of Congress Abramoff could implicate, the person said only that "cooperation is cooperation; it's full cooperation."
It sounds to me like certain members of Congress (R) should be enjoying the holidays. This may be the last time they get to celebrate them outside of a jail cell.
